A recent letter from an American at
Kodiak, Alaska, to the San Francisco
Bulletin says; "Of the Alaska govern
ment located ut Sitka we have heard
nothing since it came into existence,
over two years ago. The schoolmaster
promised to us has not yet made his APP
pearance 1t is nineteen years since the
United States took possession of the
country, and generation Of native
born Americans has been allowed to
grow up here without any school facili-

THE IELROSE MURDER,
b Preliminary Examination Concluded

The Preliminary Examinstion Concluded
and Clayton Hold to Answer without
Bail.
The preliminary examination Of C. A.
Clayton for killing Maddux was resumed
yesterday morning before Justice Lippin.
colt. The hea ring was postponed from
last Monday until James Powers, who was
present at the shooting, and was himself
shot in the left hand and right hand and
arm, should be we'll enough to attend.
County Attorney Dewitt appeared or:.the
prosecution. and Messrs. Cole and Pember-
ton were present as counsel for Clayton.
Powers was on hand and he and James
Andrews and j. II. Whiting were examined.
The two last named swore to having heard
Clayton threaten the life of Maddux on
more than one occasion. Powers testi-
mony wa to the effect that Clayton
HAD INDUCED MADDU
to leave the wagon in which he was seated
by declaring that he had no weapon and
to settle their differences with
NATURES weapons; that Maddux left the
wagon and approached Clayton who
drew q pistol and began firing at Maddux
without warning; that the latter turned to
run to the wagon when he was shot in the
back; that Clayton then shot the witness
in the hands and arms. All of which being
direct testimony of the act, the Justice
had no alternative but to commit Clayton
bail to appear before the next
Grand Jury on q charge Of murder. Clay
ton was then reconducted to the County
Jail. apparently unconcerned at the out
come and the directness of the evidence
against him.

Blaine's Popularity.

Washington Special: Congressman
Brumm, of Pennsylvania, is in the city.
He says the Republicans OF Pennsylvania
are as enthusiastic in their admiration aud
support Of Blaine now as they were in the
last campaign, and he will certainly be the
first choice Of the Pennsylvania delegates
to the national convention. The Republic
can party, he says, will not want for issues
upon which to run their next campaign, as
the present administration has furnished
an abundance OF ammunition. He says
the Democratic party rushed into power
with a cry OF turn the rascals out and we
will reform the tariff, reduce the surplus
tion." None of these pledges, he says,
have been redeemed, and the Republicans
will demonstrate that fact to the people
when the proper time arrives. In reply to
to the question as to whether the Repub.
licans would do any better should
Blaine be elected, Brumm said that was
not the issue. The fighting point IN the
next campaign would be, "have the Demo-
Gratis fulfilled their promises to the
country ?" He says Blaine's friends do
not look with fear upon the outcome OF
another defensive campaign. On the con-
trary, they belieye him to be stronger in
1855 than he was in 1884. There we're
thousands of lukewarm Republicans who
stayed away from the polls who will only
be too glad to fall into The line again and
fight under the Blaine flag. He says
Blaine is stronger in New York. Pennsyl-
vania, Indiana and, in fact, throughout
the country than he vas in the last
national contest, and with the United
Labor party behind him he will lead the
Republican hosts back into power again.

Philadelphia. They soon met. She had
been constant always and had never mar
ried. She reminded him Of the old promise
and he proposed marriage. When the old
man had finished his story Squire Schmidt
smiled. and then the knot was tied. When
the Squire had pronounced the last word
the old man kissed his bride and thequaint
old lady leaned over and kissed and Rugged
the groom. Then Squire Schmidt said
solemnly, BLESS you, my children" The
certificate was handed to the lady and with
hearty farewells the couple, locked arm in
